Woman making bánh cuốn, a Vietnamese dish. Though she definitely looked Loatian, she was also sitting in front of the Trần Hưng Đạo Temple, so I tried to speak Vietnamese to her and her husband, but they couldn't understand me.

Pho is also widely available here, and there's even a small Loatian chain, Pho Zap, that's supposed to be very good. In Vietnam, there isn't one in ten who knows even one Lao dish.
